Conventions in music videos and our music video

Conventions in music video's are common features that you will expect to see within a music video. These include fast paced editing
close up shots of the main singer

lip singing, band playing together and lots of different camera shots.

There are many genreic conventions that you see in many indie/rock video's, such as panning shots, special effects, high angle shots and dark lighting. There are many genre conventions within this genre also such as long hair, dark clothing, dark make-up and skinny jeans.

Within our video we want to make sure that we get the genre conventions right so that the audience will be able to decode our video as the genre that we want to get across to them. We want to make sure we make our lead singer look attractive and dressed right for the part. We will make sure that the mise en scene is right for the story line and the scene's we will be shooting
